Wow! Where 'did' summer go? It's back to school for the kiddos and time to dust and shine the gallery as we prepare for the grand fall opening of 'simply irRESISTible'.
October 16th we kick off Saturday Samplers, read more below with a Shibori Make and Return that promises to be a lot of fun and we're going to put this work on display in the Community Gallery for the remainder of the "Simply IrRESISTible".
Are you a fiber artist or desiring to take your work to that level? October 2nd's A2A event is your opportunity to network with like minded individuals. Read on below.
Look for our newsletters to start coming out more frequently as we seek to welcome and remind you to visit us often.
Sincerely,
The STL Team

 Saturday Samplers
Have you ever wondered "How do they do that?" Well...this is your chance to "taste a technique", "sample a skill", and "cool your curiosity".
For those of us who are short on time, but long on curiosity......Saturday Samplers are designed for you. Every Saturday, we'll hold 2-4 hour samplers that focus on one area within the fiber arts or jewelry medium, allowing you to walk away with just a taste of a craft to decide whether or not you want to delve further into that area of expertise.
And...just as that box of chocolates woos us into spontaneously taking a bite now and then, Saturday Samplers can be spontaneous or planned. A different skill will be explored each week. If you are a planner, save some money and sign up ahead of time. You'll receive a $10 discount on the sampler. Wake up on Saturday with a craving and a need to create? Walk-ins are always welcome. Be advised however, that class size will be limited so get there early.
